SCOTTSDALE, AZ – November 29, 2018 – The Alkaline Water Company Inc. (TSXV and OTCQB: WTER), announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, A88 Infused Beverage Division, Inc. (A88 Infused), has entered into a Binding Letter of Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Infusion Biosciences, Inc. (IBS), that provides a non-exclusive license to utilize its proprietary Aqueous Phytorecovery Process (APP) technology. Under the Agreement, IBS will provide A88 Infused with ready-to-drink natural hemp-extract formulations. With APP’s formulations A88 Infused will be the first national U.S. beverage company to bring true water-soluble, full-spectrum features of bioactive natural hemp extract molecules to U.S. consumers.

“With the benefit of IBS’s CEO Dr. Arup Sen’s knowledge and formulations, we are positioned to take a leadership position in the emerging natural hemp extract infused beverage category. Coming off the heels of another consecutive record revenue quarter, generated from our rapidly growing national retail footprint, we believe the launch of our new natural hemp extract infused products will provide a significant increase to our sales growth and provide for another record year,” stated Richard A. Wright, President and CEO of The Alkaline Water Company Inc.

“The quality and purity of IBS’s formulations are uniquely aligned with our commitment to ‘clean beverages’ that our nearly 50,000 retailers and loyal Alkaline88® consumers have come to trust and expect from us. These proprietary formulations will allow us to infuse water-soluble hemp extract without the use of any chemicals or additives. Being truly water soluble, they will absorb through the stomach and the small intestines, therefore allowing for rapid absorption within minutes. Combining this science and technology with the power and integrity of the Alkaline88® brand creates a market-leading approach to the fast-growing hemp beverage category,” concluded Mr. Wright

IBS is a biotech company focused on discovering and commercializing innovative products that use cannabis and hemp plant ingredients in their natural forms produced by the APP Technology. APP Technology comprises a patent-pending process that uses proprietary reagents to produce two unique, ready-to-consume ingredients with the full-spectrum features of bioactive cannabinoids and terpenes from hemp. These are Infuz2O, which is a solution of naturally water-soluble molecules, including cannabinoids and terpenes, directly from the plants; and Bio-Natural Oil, which are free, naturally-occurring oils, including cannabinoids and terpenes, recovered as a natural oil from the plants. Due to the retention of the natural state, both Infuz2O and Bio-Natural Oil are unique in that both deliver plant specific experience in novel products. APP Technology is based on more than 12 years of research and development of water-soluble minerals and plant phytochemicals.

“We are excited to license APP Technology and offer our formulation expertise for the Alkaline88® product line in the United States. They have already proven to be an innovation leader and a trusted, respected brand that is well-loved by consumers in the premium water category. We believe with our technology and formulations, coupled with their speed-to-market, proprietary electrolysis process and current distribution channels, A88 Infused beverages will become a dominant brand in the hemp infused beverage category,” said Dr. Arup Sen, CEO of Infusion Biosciences, Inc.

The Alkaline Water Company Inc. fully intends to comply with all federal, state, and local laws, rules and regulations as the Company develops its hemp infused alkaline water and other nutraceutical product lines.

Company Enters into Exclusive Formulation, Development, and Supply Agreement with American Nutritional Products Inc.

SCOTTSDALE, AZ – October 17, 2018) – The Alkaline Water Company Inc. (TSXV and OTCQB: WTER) (the “Company”), with products bottled under the trademark Alkaline88®, is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary, A88 Infused Beverage Division, Inc. (“A88 Infused”), has entered into an exclusive formulation, development, and supply agreement (the “Agreement”) with American Nutritional Products Inc. (“ANP”), headquartered in Carson City, Nevada.

This Agreement solidifies our ongoing relationship with ANP to finalize the formulations for our Cannabinol (CBD) and infused products. ANP has agreed to initially develop 5 to 7 functional waters including 3 to 4 in the CBD area and 2 to 3 in the vitamin and antioxidant segment. Each will be uniquely formulated to match both consumer demands and taste profiles. Under the terms of the Agreement, A88 Infused will be granted the exclusive right to products developed by ANP, which will be used in the development of our new line of infused beverages, including:

Hemp-Derived CBD Infused Alkaline88® Water

Vitamin infused CBD Alkaline88® water

Including Vitamin B12 and Chlorophyll

Vitamin Based “Energy” Alkaline88® water

Sparkling CBD Alkaline88® water

Naturally flavored Alkaline88® water

Including watermelon, blackberry lemon, blood orange, and peach mango

“For over 25 years, Maria Watson, President and CEO of ANP, has been an industry leader in the nutraceutical world. Her formulation team has over 40 years of experience in the development and marketing of infused beverages containing CBD, nutraceuticals, and organic flavoring, making them an ideal partner to work with in the development of our new line of products. We both recognized the synergies of our companies and this agreement was a logical extension of our recently signed co-packing agreement. The depth of knowledge and expertise provided by ANP will ensure that A88 Infused is able to introduce some of its infused beverages to market by the end of this calendar year,” stated Richard A. Wright, President and CEO of The Alkaline Water Company.

“Alkaline88® is one of the only national brands fully committed to this space. In order to take advantage of this unique position, we have engaged ANP to develop a cadre of distinct and exceptional products now so as consumer preferences change and the market develops, we can be ready to meet demand. Many of the formulations have already been completed for a number of these products and shelf life and bio availability testing should be completed shortly to allow for a late 2018 launch of some of these infused products. The Company is currently working on an international roll-out specifically eyeing the newly legalized Canadian recreational cannabis market,” concluded Mr. Wright.

“We are thrilled to be working with a national brand like Alkaline88®. Together we are finalizing development of our formulations and products at ANP in order to launch into the U.S. and Canadian market. We have worked tirelessly to be ready for this opportunity. In addition to our industry leading nutraceutical formulations, ANP is one of the only International Center for Cannabis Therapy (ICCT) Certified plants in the United States. This allows us to bring a unique skill set to our CBD product development. We have relationships with some of the best doctors and scientists in both the CBD and nutraceutical space. We believe some of our Ayurveda formulations will give A88 Infused a significant advantage in delivering great tasting and bio available products to their customers. We are excited to be a part of the next chapter of Alkaline88®’s growth story,” concluded Maria Watson, President and CEO of American Nutritional Products, Inc.

The infused beverage and CBD industry is rapidly expanding, with over 83% of consumers demanding some sort of nutritional of functional benefit to their water and The Hemp Business Journal projecting that the worldwide CBD market will grow from $202 million last year to $2.1 billion by 2020. The U.S. government has not ignored this growing trend, given the DEA’s recent decision to remove CBD as a Schedule 1 Drug and the provisions included within the pending 2018 Farm Bill, which would remove industrial hemp from Schedule 1 of the Controlled Substances Act and allow the USDA to federally regulate hemp and its byproducts, which include CBD. We hope to see similar developments which will allow us to bring our hemp-derived CBD alkaline water to market once all approvals have been obtained.

The Company fully intends to comply with all federal, state, and local laws, rules and regulations as the Company develops its hemp-derived CBD infused alkaline water and other nutraceutical product lines and will not pursue the production or sale of CBD infused products until legally permitted and all necessary approvals have been obtained.

Incubator for Alkaline88® Brand Extension and Product Innovations

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Sept. 19, 2018 – The Alkaline Water Company Inc. (TSXV and OTCQB: WTER) (the “Company”), with products bottled under the trademark Alkaline88® that are available in over 40,000 retail locations across the U.S., including 39 of the Top 50 Grocers in the U.S., is pleased to announce the formation of A88 Infused Beverage Division, Inc., a wholly owned Nevada corporation (“A88 Infused”). A88 Infused will focus on brand extension and product innovations in the healthful water category.

Products in Development

“We are excited to announce the launch of our new A88 Infused Beverage Division, Inc. Our national success with Alkaline88® and expertise gained in the enhanced water segment makes A88 Infused a logical step in Alkaline88®’s brand evolution. We have partnered with industry leaders and experts to develop healthful products using the technology currently used by Alkaline88® as their foundation,” stated Richard A. Wright, President and CEO of The Alkaline Water Company Inc.

“Consumer demand for enhanced and functional beverages is at an all-time high. Over 83% of consumers want some sort of nutritional or functional benefit in their water. A88 Infused is capitalizing on this trend with the planned launch of four new products centered around growing trends in the beverage space. A88 Infused is uniquely positioned to dominate these emerging beverage markets through our already established nationwide footprint of Alkaline88®,” stated Richard A. Wright, President and CEO of The Alkaline Water Company Inc.

New Products Coming Soon to Market Will Include:

Hemp-derived CBD infused Alkaline88® water

Naturally Flavored Alkaline88® water

Natural Sparkling Alkaline88® water

Alkaline88® infused with Natural Vitamins and Minerals

“We expect these new products to be all natural and plant derived. Each of the four initial areas were chosen based on our current customer demand, consumer demand, and market potential. Each new product line is already in various stages of development. Management feels the formation of A88 Infused will hasten their speed to market while maintaining our momentum with our lead product, Alkaline88®. On October 17th of this year, CBD will be legal throughout all of Canada and is already legal in the U.S. We feel it is imperative that our hemp-derived CBD infused Alkaline88® water, along with each of the other products planned, be available for purchase throughout Canada and the U.S. We hope to be announcing many milestones over the next few months as we expand our brand offerings. Each product line was chosen based on our belief that consumers will embrace an infused Alkaline88® healthful product line. A brief overview of our current vision is outlined below,” concluded Mr. Wright.

Hemp-Derived Cannabidiol (CBD) 10 mg Infused Alkaline88® Waters

Our hemp-derived CBD infused Alkaline88® water, which will be bottled in the 500 ml size with dosage of 10 mg of hemp-derived CBD per bottle, fits squarely within the growing CBD market trend. Throughout 2018 we have been investigating and analyzing beneficial partnerships in the Hemp based CBD market and have made great progress. The Hemp Business Journal projects that the worldwide CBD market will grow from $202 million last year to $2.1 billion by 2020, and Greenwave Advisors Matt Karnes believes that the worldwide CBD market will reach nearly $3 billion by 2021. Consumer interest in CBD has risen to all-time highs as researchers explore the potential medical benefit of cannabidiol.

Natural Flavored Alkaline88® Waters

Akaline88® has been working for over 12 months with a major flavor house to develop all-natural flavors for a late 2018 or early 2019 launch. Flavored water is considered by many US consumers to be healthier than soft drinks, and contain less calories as compared to carbonated drinks and juices. According to Statista, 5.9 million US households will have flavored water drinks in 2018. In addition, per a Beverage Marketing 2017 report, wholesale dollar sales of flavored water products increased from $10.3 million in 2006 to $58.3 million in 2016. Growth rates have accelerated significantly in the past three years. The essence water segment is expected to double to $118 million in 2021.

Natural Sparkling Alkaline88® Waters

Alkaline88® has made it a company objective to become the first and best tasting natural sparkling alkaline water. From 2011 to 2016, carbonated water grew 70.4 percent by volume and flavored water grew 59.5 percent. During the same time period, still water grew only 29.9 percent, while sweetened beverages, like soda, declined 8 percent by volume. Nearly 574 million gallons of sparkling water — $6.1 billion worth — were sold in the U.S. in 2016, the last full year of data, according to Beverage Marketing. And that figure was expected to reach 790 million gallons and more than $8.5 million in 2017, compared to just 263 million gallons and $2.6 billion in 2011.

Alkaline88® infused with natural vitamins and minerals

Per Statista, consumer preferences in water includes not only flavor and sparkling but also natural and GMO free. Alkaline88® has been exploring various water-soluble plant derived vitamins and minerals as a way to deliver the benefits of vitamins and minerals within a water beverage. Our primary focus so far has been directed towards natural vitamin combinations that support energy and vitamin B-12 infusions. We believe that each of the above categories and certain stand-alone products can be developed with the exciting emerging technologies and will allow us to be leaders in this emerging trend.

Quality Control Procedures

All equipment is inspected and calibrated on a daily basis to ensure that the equipment is functioning properly. We use high quality instruments from Hach Industries that are designed for specific applications.

Each time a product is run on the line, multiple bottles are taken off of the line for sampling and testing. Whenever the line has stopped, the first two bottles are immediately taken off the line and tested for quality control purposes. We also take samples from each run and keep them for one year as residual samples and for periodic baselines studies.

We also keep samples for the purpose of ensuring that our product has the shelf life indicated on the bottle, and that the water remains chemically and biologically unchanged even after being on a shelf for many years.

3rd party experts ensure quality control standards. These companies test our water so that our suppliers are confident that our water has maintained our quality control standards prior to being placed on shelves for you to enjoy.
